R0D49 DATE: Decmber 114, 197 MATTER OF: Dai Vo-Duc et al. - Unpaid Compensation - Lost payroll DIGEST: Vietnamese nationals, listed on Vietnam employee payrolls lost in evacuation of Saigon, claim unpaid coqppensation. Where paying agent 'or relevant eayrolls state that only pon%.con of payroll was paid and they are unable to identify employees paid, claims may be paid because employees listed had entitlement, payrolls were lost under 'nusual circumstances and claims are not administratively dinputed. Where, however, paying agents state that entire payroll was paid or are able to identify paid individuals, claims of persons listed on such payrolls may not be paid sirce claims are disputed. This action concerns a letter dated April 28, 1976, from Joe L. Harman, Director, Finance Department, Navy Regional Finance Center, Washington, D.C., forwarding for settlement the claims of seven persons of Vietnamese nationality for compensa- tion which they claim~was not paid to them for the period from April 6 through 19, 1975, when'they were employees of th? Defense Attache Office in Saigon, Vietnam. The.e claims were forwarded to our Office since payrolls applicable to such claims were lost in the evacuation of Saigon in April 1975. The claims before us are a portion of approximately 200 similar claima pending in our Ofrfice. The claims in our Office are divisible into 2 categories, the first class of which includes the 7 claims referred by MW. Harman. With respect to this first category, the paying agents for the relevant payrolls state that a portion of their payrolls were paid, but they are unable to identify which employees were or were not paid. It ib, therefore, not known whether the claimants were amo'ng those paid. With respect to the second class of claima, however, the paying agents either state that the entire payroll was paid, or are able to identify with reasonable certainty those individuals Who have been paid. Whether the claims of any of the employees on the lost payrolls may properly be paid is the question presented to the General Accounting Office. I - 0 01 a I i i
